Seamless Cloud Governance

Take control of your Azure Environment.

You can take control of your Azure Environment by managing tags at scale on any number of subscriptions. Move tag management away from IT and enable accurate tag-based & cloud automation.

Workload Optimisation

Tagging can detect trends and solve larger – otherwise undetected – problems.

Governance & Regulatory Compliance

Maintaining a consistent view of resources helps to determine divergences from business governance practices and regulatory requirements.

Data & Security

Effective tagging helps ensure security and proper data classification in the event of data breaches or other security issues.

Operations Management

Cost Management & Optimisation

Tagging makes cost attribution easy, facilitating faster identification of cost-saving initiatives.

Resource Management

To help your teams to find, audit and edit specific workloads and environments – tagging is essential.

Why should you apply tagging policies and strategy for cloud governance? 

Creating a tagging standard is the foundation for healthy cloud governance, ensuring that your reporting is accurate at all times by designing a system that defines consistent naming conventions (including spelling, case conventions and spacing).

Tags help streamline reporting and help identify ineffective parts of your company’s Azure basedIT infrastructure. However, it can often feel like tagging sits in the ‘too hard basket’ due to either lack of resourcing or a lack of accurate tags to provide any meaningful insight. Luckily, we love tags.

Without correct use of tags, it can be hard to attribute costs and make critical decisions.

What is a tag you might ask?

Azure tags are name-value pairs that are used to organize resources in Azure Portal. 

What we do for you

Why we use CloudClarity.app?

As one of our strategic partners, CloudClarity.app makes it easier to understand and manage cost governance, control and compliance, automation, charge-backs, lifecycle and system ownership. CloudClarity.app provides an intuitive portal for all roles across your organisation to manage, report and audit Azure tags.

CloudClarity.app makes Azure cloud governance visible and easy for everyone – not just IT.

What CloudClarity.app does for you

Tag Management at Scale

Manage tags at any scale by tagging at the management group or subscription level. Tag in bulk, import and export tags with CSV, and see the tag version history.
Live Tag Cost Allocation

Compare the cost performance of resources and your tags in real-time with interactive visualisations. The tag cost allocator lets you re-allocate costs to a tag in real-time.
Personalised Dashboard

The dashboard will show you overall tag health and resource information as well as your personalised view for resources allocated to you.
Resource Group Visualiser

Visualise your resources to get a better understanding of the resources used in your Azure environment.
